lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the candidate, Mr Barroso. You said that we, the 732 MEPs, are the voice of the people and then you said that unless we are a member of a group, we will have little opportunity to speak. This is highly undemocratic. I would like to say that I very much welcomed certain parts of your intervention, particularly those relating to fighting discrimination and promoting equal opportunities. I also heard someone say that the Council must not be the Commission’s doormat and that the Commission and Parliament must not be the Council’s doormat. I, on the other hand, am keen to ensure that Europe is not the United States’ doormat. This is the most important thing as, up till now, that has been the case. We need to strengthen Europe’s political role, just as we need to strengthen the Christian values which unite us in Europe and fight for those social issues which, in my view, are the most important. We hear little about childhood and very little about children who are exploited, raped and used as child soldiers in wars. I will therefore welcome any action you take regarding these decisions and, in particular, regarding these social issues."@en1
